Volunteers
Sign up for an hour or so here:
- Arnulf Christl will be at the booth for 2h each day. Once we have several volunteers we should set up a time table to better coordinate.
- Robert Hollingsworth I'm available for booth time on all exhibit days. Would like to see how exhibit schedule intersects (specific) presentations and other activities when setting times.
- mpg will be attending and would be happy to do some booth duty
- please add yourself
Equipment
What kind of equipment should be available? How large is the booth footprint? Will internet taps be available?
- Volunteers should bring their own laptop if possible. Maybe have a larger desktop monitor there too. Or projector?
- 2 large tables, 1 "discussion" pedestal table and chairs
- 1 pop-up banner - Tyler providing
- Hollingsworth has leftover pop-up banner from GITA conference, will bring that.
Handouts
What handouts will be available, who/where will they be printed?
- Brochures, sponsorship postcards - Tyler providing
- Poster showing sponsors! - to be printed
- Hollingsworth has leftover printed matter from GITA -- OSGeo business cards, 'Become a Sponsor' post cards, OSGeo brochure. And a small stack of Live DVD v4.5 (outdated by Sept.?). Plus FOSS4G posters and flyers (which really should be sent to someone BEFORE the conference..)
- ...
Presentations
What kinds of live demonstrations or recorded examples can be played at the booth? Where can they be downloaded from or who can run them?
- If there are multiple booth volunteers, therefore multiple laptops, might simplify by having canned demos/videos, manual demos, and associated data living on a server somewhere.
